WHITE POTATO SALAD (NO MUSTARD)



White Potato Salad (no mustard) image

My brother loves me to make this potato salad for him. He even offers to pay me if I make it for him when he's entertaining guests! All of our friends, and family love it too. They all think they won't, because there's no mustard, until they try it, and then, they're hooked! I hope t he amounts are accurate. This recipe could be used with mustard instead of vinegar, but the sugar wo uld have to be cut in half or more. It would probably take about a half cup of mustard. I would just add it until it tasted right! It is difficult to give measurements, when you never use them. :-) Please let me know how it turns out for you! The yield and time may not be precise; I just gave it my best guess.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h30m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 -8 cups cooked, cubed potatoes (boiled with jackets on, and peeled)
1 whole onion, chopped (any kind, but red onions are probably the best to use)
4 stalks celery, finely chopped
6 hard-boiled eggs, diced up
8 small sweet gherkins
3 cups Miracle Whip (yes, Miracle Whip!)
3 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Boil Whole potatoes until a fork will easily slide in and back out with no resistance at all.
  • Lay out on counter for an hour or so to cool nicely.
  • Peel, and cube.
  • I usually do this with no recipe, so I have estimated the amounts as closely as possible.
  • While potatoes are cooking, mix together, the Miracle Whip, Vinegar, Sugar, and Salt, and refrigerate.
  • In a large bowl, mix together, the onion, celery, eggs, sweet pickles, and potatoes.
  • Add miracle whip mixture a little at a time, until it seems the right consistency for potato salad.
  • You may have some mix left over, but don't throw it out.
  • After refrigerating a while, the potatoes will absorb a lot of the mixture, and you may need to add more.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • It may taste salty until after it's refrigerated a while.
  • If you like more salt, or sour (vinegar), you may adjust recipe accordingly.
  • Just add a little at a time to the finished product, of vinegar, or salt, and mix, until it tastes right to you.
  • The same applies if you like it sweeter.

ROASTED POTATO SALAD WITH JALAPEñO-AVOCADO DRESSING



Roasted Potato Salad With Jalapeño-Avocado Dressing image

As one of the most adaptable dishes, potato salad has withstood countless reimaginings. In this version, roasted potatoes are paired with two types of beans: Cannellini beans offer a hearty creaminess, while green beans add a welcome crisp-tenderness. If you have garlic or onion powder in your spice rack, use it to add some umami to the roasted potatoes. The avocado dressing is zingy and full of lively flavors; make it as spicy as you can handle, and if you are looking for more tanginess, substitute the mayonnaise with sour cream or crème fraîche.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds small russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 2-inch pieces
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic or onion powder (optional)
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed
1 lime, halved
Handful of dill leaves
1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup vegan or regular mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped dill
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lime (2 to 3 tablespoons)
1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
1 to 2 jalapeños, trimmed and roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic or onion powder (if using), and about ½ teaspoon of salt. Season with black pepper and toss to coat. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile make the dressing: Combine avocado, mayonnaise, dill, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, 1 jalapeño and salt in a blender or small food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and if you want it spicier, add the second jalapeño.
  • After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and toss. Push the potatoes to one side of the sheet pan, and add the green beans to the other side. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender and the potatoes are golden on the outside and tender all the way through. Don't overcook the beans; if the beans are done before the potatoes are ready, remove them from the sheet pan and return the potatoes to the oven.
  • Transfer the potatoes and green beans to a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the cannellini beans along with half the dressing and toss to coat well. Taste and check seasonings, adding more salt and black pepper if needed.
  • To serve, squeeze the lime halves over and scatter with dill leaves. Pass the remaining dressing on the side.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy and flavorful dressing, bake it uncovered for the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
  • If you prefer a creamy dressing, stir in some milk or chicken broth until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the dressing, such as thyme, rosemary, sage, or garlic powder, to enhance the flavor.
  • To make the dressing ahead of time, prepare it up to 3 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, reheat it in a covered baking dish in the oven until warmed through.
  • Serve the dressing with roasted chicken, turkey, or ham, or as a side dish for a vegetarian meal.

Conclusion:

White potato dressing is a versatile and flavorful side dish that can be enjoyed with various main courses. Made with simple ingredients like potatoes, celery, onion, and a creamy sauce, it offers a comforting and satisfying addition to any meal. Whether you prefer it crispy or creamy, this dressing is sure to be a hit among family and friends. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy side dish, give white potato dressing a try.
